Oh so now we’re brutally honest are we? We must examine ourselves and admit we are secretly for abortion as it kills off “them people” babies?
And for the record - Rockefeller and Reagan were not conservatives back in the 60’s. We know Reagan - like Trump evolved into conservatism. He was a great champion in the anti abortion fight.
Trump used to be a great champion as he appointed three pro-life justices, but now? Now he wants to sweep this issue under the rug?
Unfathomable.
Reagan didn't "evolve" on anything. Like Trump, he changed his tune to fit the national political landscape once he pursued a national political career.
I will never forget the last time I attended the March for Life in Washington. Reagan was president at the time, and he addressed the crowd remotely, as was his habit.
At one point after his formal address, one of the prominent national figures in the pro-life movement (it may have been Nellie Gray or Judie Brown) just flat-out asked him why the hell he never even had the fortitude to veto a bill from Congress that contained millions of dollars in funding for Planned Parenthood.
He gave such a pathetic, feckless response to that question that I knew this was a hopeless cause, and the whole national political movement was a farce and a charade. And it was the last time I ever went to Washington for that march.
